What's your solution to the toll road privatization plan?

This is just a gimmick. Gov. Florio sold a part of a highway in Bergen County to the NJ Turnpike to raise $400 million in order to pad the budget. And now Codey wants to privatize the toll roads? I'm wondering who will buy it.
Why doesn't Codey just get rid of the tolls altogether?

That is what worries me. There are a number of money laundering front businesses in NJ. Jersey is essentially a post office box for the Muwafaq Foundation.
Who wants to lease our roads? Do we as tax payers get a say? The Turnpike is an artery. Do we get held hostage?

How right you are. And with EZ-Pass and cameras along the route, who exactly, would keep records of our travels?

As a toll collector on the NJ Turnpike what worries us is what happens to the employees that work the road? What happens to our pensions?

Your pensions are a liablility of the Turnpike Authority and would be assumed by the state or the private authority. In any case, the liability would have to be funded as part of the deal.
